    The programmable relay in the MultiPlus-II is a versatile tool that can be configured for a range of applications. To use it as a starter relay for a generator, for example, you would program the relay to activate under specific conditions, such as when the battery voltage drops to a certain level.

    Programming the relay involves using the VictronConnect app or a compatible interface where you can set the parameters for activation. You would define the conditions under which the relay should engage or disengage, tailored to your specific needs.

    Once programmed, the relay acts autonomously. In the case of using it as a starter relay for a generator, when the battery voltage falls below the set threshold, the relay triggers the generator to start, ensuring continuous power supply. This feature is not only limited to starting generators but can be adapted for various other functions like triggering alarms, managing load shedding, or automating other electrical components in your system.

    The ease of programming and flexibility of the relay makes the MultiPlus II a highly adaptable device suitable for diverse applications, enhancing the overall functionality of your power management system.
